Xu Zixuan's showing off seemed very low-class to An Wuyang.

Because what a person flaunts reveals what they consider worth flaunting.

Based on what they flaunt, you can roughly determine their level.

Someone like Xu Zixuan showing off a Chanel lipstick meant that a single Chanel lipstick was worth showing off to her, which showed that her social circle was relatively low.

After all, how could someone from a high-tier circle flaunt a Chanel lipstick?

Wasn't that ridiculous?

For example, in An Wuyang's circle, he had just bought a luxury car worth over a million—a BMW M3—but he didn't even want to hold a delivery ceremony, let alone post about it on Moments.

If An Wuyang really did post the million-level BMW M3 on Moments to show off, even if his "good friends" in Moments liked it and left comments expressing envy and congratulations, deep down they'd probably gossip about whether the An Family had fallen on hard times.

Or else, was Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group not doing well?

Otherwise, why would An Wuyang flaunt a barely million-level BMW M3 on Moments?

While Xu Zixuan was showing off her Chanel lipstick, Niu Fenjin was secretly observing An Wuyang. He noticed that An Wuyang's clothes were ordinary, all sportswear, and just the domestic brand Anta.

In Niu Fenjin's view, An Wuyang's family conditions should be pretty average, right?

So Niu Fenjin spoke up first. "An classmate, are you planning to buy Adidas or Nike?"

Before An Wuyang could answer, Niu Fenjin continued in a tone full of superiority. "There's no Adidas or Nike in Starlight Plaza. The brands here are more high-end."

"Oh, I remember now, there's a Muji here, but their stuff is pricier than H&M and Uniqlo," Niu Fenjin added.

An Wuyang listened to Niu Fenjin's condescending remarks without rebutting. "I'm just browsing. If I find something suitable, I want to buy a formal suit."

"A formal suit?" Niu Fenjin was taken aback.

A high school graduate buying a formal suit?

What was that about?

An Wuyang added, "Brother Niu, we can go with you to buy the lipstick first, no problem."

Niu Fenjin immediately broke into a smile. He had been thinking about how to invite An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing to shop together—mainly to invite Xia Yuqing.

Now that An Wuyang had voluntarily suggested going with them to buy lipstick, Niu Fenjin felt relieved, because when buying the lipstick, he could show off his financial strength.

Although Niu Fenjin wasn't rich, compared to a high school graduate, he was still way ahead, right?

At least a four- or five-hundred-yuan Chanel lipstick was no pressure for Niu Fenjin.

Xu Zixuan didn't refuse either. She wanted to show off in front of her cousin. She was actually jealous that Xia Yuqing was prettier than her. As a woman already in the workforce, she knew very well how powerful a woman's looks could be.

That was why she envied and resented Xia Yuqing.

Xia Yuqing also agreed with An Wuyang's suggestion. An Wuyang had just confessed his family situation to her, and combined with Niu Fenjin's slightly odd behavior, Xia Yuqing wanted to watch the fun too.

So the four of them went to the Chanel cosmetics counter together.

But as soon as An Wuyang arrived at the Chanel cosmetics counter, he silently cursed his bad luck!

Because the saleswoman at the Chanel counter was actually an acquaintance, and when she saw An Wuyang, she already had a smile on her face, greeting him warmly and proactively. "An classmate, long time no see!"

"Has Ms. Li been busy lately? She hasn't come in for a while. We've prepared a member gift for her this month. Please trouble An classmate to take it back for her," the saleswoman said enthusiastically.

"..." An Wuyang was speechless.

"..." Niu Fenjin was also speechless.

"..." Xu Zixuan was equally speechless.

Only Xia Yuqing smiled.

What the hell was going on?

Niu Fenjin and Xu Zixuan looked at An Wuyang in confusion. They had never seen a Chanel cosmetics saleswoman so warm, and they had no idea what member gift she was talking about.

While the three were stunned, the saleswoman had already taken a Chanel paper bag from the storage cabinet under the counter and handed it to An Wuyang. "Sorry to trouble you, An classmate!"

An Wuyang took it helplessly and replied casually, "Thanks, Sister Zhou."

Zhou Yue responded politely, "An classmate is too kind!"

"Is An classmate buying anything today?" Zhou Yue added.

An Wuyang replied, "Probably some lipstick?"

Zhou Yue immediately looked at Xia Yuqing and Xu Zixuan, then directly ruled out Xu Zixuan. Although she didn't know An Wuyang's exact identity, she knew Li Wenya's spending habits at their store, which easily told her that An Wuyang's family was wealthy and noble.

So the plain-looking Xu Zixuan, who also seemed older than An Wuyang, definitely wasn't his target.

Zhou Yue looked at Xia Yuqing and asked, "Miss, what kind of lipstick are you looking for?"

Xia Yuqing, feeling a bit socially anxious, shook her head in refusal. "I'm not buying any."

Zhou Yue was slightly surprised. Had she misjudged?

An Wuyang explained from the side, "Sister Zhou, they're the ones buying."

An Wuyang's wording was interesting. He used "they" instead of "she."

As a beauty saleswoman, Zhou Yue was very skilled at reading people—otherwise, she couldn't do the job. She immediately turned to Xu Zixuan and Niu Fenjin. "What would you two like to buy?"

Niu Fenjin had already lost his earlier sense of superiority, because the familiarity and warmth the Chanel beauty counter staff showed toward An Wuyang felt like a bucket of cold water thrown over him—even as dense as he was, he knew An Wuyang wasn't simple.

After all, Niu Fenjin was well aware of how realistic these beauty counter staff could be.

Xu Zixuan, on the other hand, was a bit confused. She couldn't understand why An Wuyang was so familiar with the Chanel beauty counter staff—was it because they already knew each other?

"I want to buy a lipstick," Xu Zixuan said, though she was unclear on the situation, she still needed to buy the lipstick she came for.

"Do you have a favorite collection or shade?" Zhou Yue asked.

Xu Zixuan wanted to act like she was a regular Chanel buyer, but she really didn't buy Chanel often and didn't know the specific collections, so she could only reply with some helplessness, "I'd like to look first. Can I try a few options?"

"Of course!" Zhou Yue agreed.

Although Zhou Yue didn't know the relationship between Xu Zixuan, Niu Fenjin, and An Wuyang, since they had all come to the Chanel beauty counter together, she would show respect for the Buddha's sake even if not for the monk—she had to give An Wuyang face no matter what.

After all, if she offended An Wuyang and he ended up taking Li Wenya to a Chanel counter at another mall, that would be her loss, wouldn't it?

The competition at the Chanel beauty counter was fierce!
